Stop trying. If you're keeping the clubface open through impact, chances are that your left hand grip pressure is too tight. You're fighting the natural release of the club. Trying to manipulate the clubface creates all sorts of bad things.

Here's a good drill...
Hold the club with just your thumbs and forefingers- you can squeeze as tight as you want, but this removes your foreams from your swing. First thing you'll notice is that you have to use your shoulders to initiate a backswing. You'll feel the club set itself at the top and release at the bottom too. Just swinging back and through from hip to hip, you'll be able to see the club square itself through impact and release. Try it with full swings too. This is how your swing should feel. You can even hit balls this way too, but I recommend putting them on a tee. My all time favorite swing drill!

Weapons of choice:
Irons/wedges: Titleist Tour Grind
Driver:Titleist 909D2
3 Wood: Tour Edge Exotic
Putter: Odyssey White Hot

    • Rory!!  What a great round. 
    • Oh great, now that the door opened last year, he thinks he owns the place and waltz in for another jacket anytime he wants. Kids these days. Such entitlement. 😜
    • I agree; that would be great.  The record is 20 under;  if we only include Masters Tournaments contested in April, then the record is 18 under.  Seeing Rory beat 20 under would be fantastic.
    • Now I am hoping Rory breaks the all time scoring record, especially with how difficult the course is playing right now. 
    • A few thoughts on the past few minutes. I agree that fairways are overrated, but Rory might want to reconsider that view in the short term. For the second time today, Bryson is hitting two shots in a row from the same greenside bunker.   Xander had a similar issue on 12 earlier today, although I think that only happened to him once today.  My mother and I are sitting in my living room commiserating.    Poor Patrick Reed, only bogey of the day on #18.  Shane Lowry had a clean scorecard with 15 pars and 3 birdies.
